Introduction :

Search engines present a well - organized way to

search the relevant information from the Web.

However, the search results acquired might not

always be helpful to the user, as search engine
fail to recognize the user intention behind the
query.

A particular word could mean many things in

dissimilar contexts and the anticipated context
can be determined by the user alone.

Contd. :

With the growth of Internet, people are becoming

more and more dependant on the Web search
engines for their various information needs.

In spite of the extensive use, there are still

several
challenges for search engine.

Problem Statement:

The most common problem of most Web search systems is

that they do not think about the differences among individual
user needs.

The result of the search process relies exclusively upon the

query.

The underlying search engine presents the same search results

for different users when they submit the same query, not
considering about their different information needs and
preferences.

Solution :

PWSEs client-server architecture, which meets three

important requirements. First, computation intensive tasks,
such as RSVM training, should be handled by the PWSE
server.
Second, data transmission between client and server should be
minimized to ensure fast and efficient processing of the
search.
Third, click through data, representing precise user
preferences on the search results, should be stored on the
PWSE clients in order to preserve user privacy.

Literature Survey:
A. Fang Liu, C. Yu and Weiyi Meng,
Personalized Web search for improving retrieval
effectiveness

Fang Liu et al., recommended personalized Web search for

improving retrieval effectiveness.
In this paper, the authors propose a novel approach to learn
user profiles from users' search histories. The user profiles
are then utilized to enhance retrieval efficiency in Web
search.
Experimental outcomes show that this approach to
personalize Web search is very effective.

Personalized Web Search Using Probabilistic Query Expansion

P. Palleti et al., developed personalized web search using

probabilistic query expansion.
In this approach, the authors developed a personalized Web
search system applied at proxy which changes to user interests
perfectly by generating user profile with the use of
collaborative filtering.
A user profile basically consists of probabilistic correlations
among query terms and document terms which are utilized for
providing personalized search results

personalized Web search engine using fuzzy
concept network with link structure,

Kyung-Joong Kim et al., developed a personalized Web

search engine using fuzzy concept network with link
structure.
The paper proposes another search engine that utilizes the
fuzzy concept network to personalize the outputs from a linkbased search technique.
Depending on auser profile, the fuzzy concept network
rearranges five outputs of the link-based search engine, and
the system presents a personalized superior quality result.

Activities carried over the last two

months

Background study on the project and finalized the required

technologies.
Identified different modules to be implemented and created the
necessary diagrams.
Did a brush up on technologies.
Started implementing the user interface.

Conclusion :

The remarkable development of information on the Web has

forced new challenges for the construction of effective search
engines.
The only input to the search engine is the keyword and it searches
the whole WWW to provide the relevant information to the users.
However, most of users are likely to use only a few keywords to
convey their information requirements, and thus the search
queries usually do not correspond to what the users want
specifically. In addition, with the huge development of the
information presented on the Web, it is very complicated for Web
search engines to satisfy the user information requirement only
with a short ambiguous query.
To overcome such a basic difficulty of information retrieval,
personalized search, which is to provide the customized search
results to each user, is a very promising solution.
Fundamentally, in studying how a search can be personalized, the
most significant thing is to accurately identify users
information.
